Jeez, the shifting, drifting, floating, meandering, exploratory, dramatic dynamics from underground labyrinths to tenderness to symphonic crescendos soaring up into the transcendent cosmos in one group mind. Jazz meets psychedelic pulse. Who could not be transfixed? Who else could play improvised music with such power, precision, control, and grace? This ain't no garage band folks. No sir-ee. Who was there? Were you forever transformed. Forget drugs. This music will take you there

Truckin' -perfect
Hurts Me Too- bluesy
,B.E. Women,-perfect staple
LLR-last with Garcia on Pedal Steel
Dark Star ->Sugar Mag - OMG!
Good Lovin' ->Caution ->Who Do You Love? ->
Caution ->Good Lovin' -PIG goes to town
Ramble On Rose-a staple of this tour
NFA>GDTRFB->NFA-
e) Saturday Night-"see ya later"

Often considered one of the best of the E72s, this show was heavily mined for official releases. Aside from the full show, Brown-Eyed was on the original Europe '72 with the Good Lovin' sandwich a bonus-disc grouping. Europe '72 v.2 used the Bertha, Chinatown, and Loser.
First Set. Bertha is an average start - not the eksempel vidunderligt of 4/8, 5/3 or 4/26. MaMU is bouncy as a wienerbrød. Check Jer during the penultimate verse. Mr. Charlie was played every freaking night but damned if this ain't the one. You Win is the only wtf of the set. Black-Throated was arranged too blocky to usually come off this tight, with it's Dylanesque verbosity and stilted rhythm (Billy called it "contrived"). This too is the one. Keith gets a great piece of Chinatown. Lyrically undeveloped, it would be overlooked as a nightly filler if this'n weren't so punchy. You can hear Bobby perfectly on Loser (Susie), weaving with Jer. The solo is okay but the chording and fills are excellent. McGee was nailed throughout the tour but stand-out Cumberland only took a shift 4 times on the tour. This one does not sound like the others. Playin' is good but not one of the wild ones from the tour (say, 4/21, 4/24, or 4/26). Donna's cat isn't in heat; so there's that.
Second Set. There are a handful of tiptop Tennessee Jeds from E72 and this is one. I way-dig El Paso when jer adds crazy fills, staying busy in Bobby's "country shit" but Keith is likewise busy. (How was it that Bobby would remember this detailed story and then usually flub Truckin'? Well, except for "cratered by two loving arms"). Keith is on-the-money for BioDtL-13 (Pig calls for 12 but Bobby calls a baker's). Check Phil on Casey Jones. Truckin' is an average version until the jam. Jer just jumps in cannonball-stylee and then pats it in neat and tidy. You get Pig's wail on Hurts Me Too and Jer switches to slide (pretty sure that's not Bobby). Brown-Eyed Women is heard with Pig's organ and without the overdubs of Europe '72 and it improves the middle eight! Much has been noted about this crazy-good Looks Like Rain due to Jer's phenomenal pedal steel. He put it away after this until Dylan '87! They had their harmonies nailed. This was the 3rd one ever but was only played once more this year [Hartford]. Of the 11 Dark Stars this is one of the shortest. There's a Wharf Rat tease but it doesn't really shine until 15 minutes in where the tranny>Sugar Mag is amazing ("a wrinkle of a daydream"). Then it's a little rough but never more energetic. Bobby never learned the heavy metal scream (there's a safe method) and just shreds his voice instead. Good Lovin' features a huge (but not classic) Pig rap. The tour was also full of Ramble on Rose but this just has every piece in place - even better than 5/26. Billy launches Not Fade with a stringendo then Jer goes strident. Bobby plays the China Cat riff, Jer follows, then they both telepathically, perfectly, let it disperse as cloud to ether so it can resolve to: GDtRFB. Jer's solos are pre-loaded, erupting fully-formed. This is the machine, yo! They had something to prove to the Danes through One More Saturday - Keith's good; band's on fire.
A 3 1/2-hour show (1/2-hour less than Wigan), it's one of the 4 or 5 best of the 22 dates of the tour, it's also a top 20 of '72 - which is great when you consider '72 is one of the top 5 years. They came back and played another good show the following week, in what is actually an amusement park (the world's oldest of its type). This used to be one of the B&P E72s due to FM copies. It's marginally better than the sparkly fireworks of 4/7 & 4/8 but still an embarrassment of riches.
1st Set:   A-
2nd Set: B+
Overall = 4 1/2 Stars
Highlights:
Me and My Uncle - spry
Mr. Charlie - A+
Black-throated Wind - rarely this unclunked
Chinatown Shuffle - perfect version

Looks Like Rain - rare A+ version
Ramble On Rose - even better than 5/26
Not Fade Away>GDtRFB - some telepathy goin' on
One More Saturday Night - just to leave the Danes dancin'
SOURCES: I'm reviewing the released version but there's a fixed-Miller (best), an Ashley/Bertha and a Darrin Sacks (that all inexplicably chop the NFA>GDtRFB jam into 5 tracks).

Great show, this is classic 72 set here. Pig Pen wailing away talking about someone cooking bacon. hahaha this shows darkstar is great and LOOKS LIKE RAIN is my new fav vers right here. Very smooth solo by the jerr.
BTW HERES LIVE VIDEO HEAVEN FOR MY FELLOW HEADIES!!!!

sweet sweet Archive of Life, the most Holiest of all Domains

Note to self:
This is one GREAT show...Listen to this when I don't want to give a damn about anything...when all I want to do is smile and be happy...Pigpen, Jerry and the boyz take me to that place I once lived in...a time before this crap monument erected itself in my psyche...
This show has everything I like...I don't know what the recording is like because I was outside my front door building a stone planter and I didn't critique the sound quality...BUT...the show rocks from beginning to end...the energy is kick-ass all the way through
Remember this show forever...listen to it in emergency emotional situations....especially those tunes where Pigpen lets loose....

Perfection. It is a very powerfull word. A word that conjurs up visions un-imagianable. We all love Euroupe 72'. This is so much beyond that; yet making this whole 72 run more beautiful. I don't know what went on there in those old winding streets of Denmark but F*%@. This is beautiful. Perhaps the best Grateful Dead concert I have ever hear.
Between the comlete tightness and pocket filling groove of theses guys; the stage banter is hillarious. This is the Grateful Dead.
I will say it... this is one of the best shows I have ever heard in my life.
Q? Some of this may have ended up on the album but I don't think so....
This show is why we are all using this archive to listen to shows to begin with....
ENJOY and DOWNLOAD!
